13	* ''BerserkButton/TheSimpsons''
14	[[/index]]
15
16	!!Other examples
17	* ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatiansTheSeries'': Rolly absolutely '''''HATES''''' [[YouAreFat being called fat]].
18	-->"Are you calling me fat?"
19	* ''WesternAnimation/The7D'': You can be naughty with Queen Delightful, you can be naughty with her kingdom, but you CANNOT BE NAUGHTY WHEN IT COMES TO HER DOG!
20	* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'':
21	** NEVER insult Ultra Lord in any way, shape or form in front of Sheen Estevez.
22	--->'''Sheen:''' What are you guys so worried about? Ultra Lord's gonna be here any minute.\
23	'''Cindy:''' Ultra Lord's not coming, you ding-dong! The Yolkians ''lied'' to you!\
24	'''Sheen:''' '''[[BigWHAT WHAT?!]]''' Then they have awakened ''the wrath of Sheen!''
25	** Jimmy gets very angry if he receives an F. [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents Crocker]] learns this the hard way in the first special of ''WesternAnimation/TheJimmyTimmyPowerHour''.
26	* ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'':
27	** Sonic's BerserkButton is being called slow.
28	** Robotnik also has several. More in fact, than all of his robots and his machines together.
29	*** Sonic himself in general. His CharacterCatchphrase sums it up best.
30	---->'''Robotnik''': I ''HATE'' THAT HEDGEHOG!
31	*** If you serve him breakfast, make sure that it's ''always'' eggs. ''Not'' hotcakes, ''just'' eggs.
32	---->'''Robotnik:''' [[SarcasmMode Hotcakes! Isn't that nice?]] You know what ''I'' like with my hotcakes? (''grabs Scratch by the neck'')\
33	'''Scratch:''' (''nervously'') [[OhCrap W-w-what?]]\
34	'''Robotnik:''' CHOPPED CHICKEN BRAINS!
35	*** Being compared to Humpty Dumpty.
36	---->'''Robotnik:''' (''walks in on Scratch and Grounder laughing at a comic from a Crack-Ups comic book'') What is so funny? (''swipes the comic book from Scratch'') I see. You've been chortling at a... comic book. (''flips through the pages'') Is something in here so much more entertaining than my instructive and brilliant discourse?\
37	(''Cut to the comic, where Robotnik is seen flailing on the ground as he says, "Help, I've fallen and I can't get up!", all while the Mobians continue mocking him. Cut back to a rather pissed-off Robotnik.'')\
38	'''Robotnik:''' (''clenches the book in his hands as he steams with rage and blows his top'') '''''How dare anyone on Mobius laugh at the great Dr Robotnik!?''''' '''No one makes fun of me! No one!''' (tosses the comic book on the ground) Whoever's responsible for this outrage will be my first prisoner! Bring me the vile creature who drew this cartoon!
39	*** The nickname [[MaliciousMisnaming "Robuttnik"]] (which Sonic ''loves'' to use on him) sets him off ''massively''.
40	* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'':
41	** Rob's BerserkButton is when people get his name wrong... which happens [[RunningGag pretty often.]] In fact, he's '''surprised''' when Gumball gets his name right in 'The Rerun.' Possibly [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] post Season 3, since Rob was completely forgotten in the Void, including his name.
42	** Alan is normally an AllLovingHero who acts cordial to Gumball no matter how much of a {{Jerkass}} he is. However, as "The Saint" shows, the sound of his feet squeaking in the hallway makes him go into an angry tirade. [[spoiler:{{Subverted\|Trope}}, since Alan only reacted this way because Gumball was looking for ways to piss him off throughout the episode and he just wanted Gumball to finally be satisfied.]]
43	** Idaho, a potato, ''really'' hates the nickname "Brotato".
44	* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': In "The Best Christmas Story Never Told", when Stan tells you "Merry Christmas", you ''better not'' say back [[PoliticalOvercorrectness "Happy Holidays"]].
45	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': The mere ''mention'' of [[DoesNotLikeSpam pineapples on pizza]] can cause Anne to become violent.
46	-->'''Anne (pinning Sprig to the wall):''' Don't you ''dare'' talk about pineapple on my pizza. ''Ever''.
47	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'':
48	** Don't ever call Dot "Dottie" or else you'll die, although she is never seen doing this.
49	--->'''Dot:''' ''(to Gerth Plotz)'' Call me "Dottie" and you'll be taking your Tang intravenously.
50	** Whatever you do, do ''not'' mention the word "cat" around Runt. Luckily for Rita, he doesn't know a cat when he sees one.
51	** Fermin Flaxseed from "The Big Candy Store" does ''not'' hand out candy for free. Do not ask him for handouts.
52	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}'': Jinx becomes noticeably even more unstable and uncontrollable once she starts to figure out that various people are keeping her away from her sister Vi… and because of her abandonment issues with Vi, also anything that remotely hints that Vi might “betray” her again.
53	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'': Sterling Archer tends to vomit, completely freak out, or both at the mere hint of his mother dating or having sex. And when he learns that Woodhouse helped her give birth to him, all he can think of is the fact that his valet saw his mother's private parts.
54	* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': Tying ''The Search'' into the animated series, the concept of "monsters" will cut Azula to the bone. At first, she dismisses it, but in the comics, it's something she can't stand being called anymore because it reminds her of what she thinks her mother thought of her as.
55	* ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead'':
56	** Beavis barely notices the massive volume of insults Butt-head throws his way, but don't call him a "butt-knocker". Or he'll [[GroinAttack kick you in the nads]]! Also don't insult Music/{{Metallica}} in front of him.
57	** The realization that he will never "score" led Beavis to a screaming fit twice. The commotion itself was a Berserk Button on two people: the bus driver in TheMovie (after telling him to sit down, but Beavis says "shut up") and a stage manager (who warns the other kids not to piss him off). On top of that, ''never ever'' complain about being able to "score". Upon watching a show where a guy revealed he ghosted a woman because he felt she was a sex maniac, Beavis ''flipped out'' to the point where he threw a rock at their TV, flipped their table at it, then ''smashed the TV with his fists''. And for once, Butt-Head agreed with him.
58	** Coach Buzzcut may be the high school equivalent of DrillSergeantNasty, but so help ''anyone else'' who lays a hand on his students...
59	* The 3 main protagonists of ''WesternAnimation/BikerMiceFromMars'' will react ''very'' badly if you damage their bikes. And it's not a very good idea to call [[BewareTheNiceOnes Modo]] a rat.
60	* It is discovered in ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'' that throwing a chair amidst a crowd of people will, whether or not the chair connects with anyone, instigate a full-scale brawl.
61	* The title character of the animated series ''WesternAnimation/BountyHamster'', a battle-hardened BountyHunter who happens to also be a small fluffy critter, develops UnstoppableRage whenever anybody mentions how cute he is.
62	* ''WesternAnimation/CarmenSandiego'': Zack does not like when people refer to Boston as "Beantown."
63	* ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'': Dog turns from a happy-go-lucky scatterbrain to a flesh-hungry hellhound if you make the mistake of messing with his bones.
64	* ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'':
65	** Fat Cat '''''really''''' despises dogs.
66	** Winnifred, a wannabe witch, gets violent when someone calls her "Freddie." That said, ''everyone'' except Foxglove only ever calls her that from her other familiars to the Rangers to the police.
67	** Chip and Dale hate being called [[IAmNotWeasel squirrels]]. This is at the same time HilariousInHindsight and LostInTranslation: in many, many, many countries, chipmunks ''don't exist,'' so there is no possible translation. Subsequently, Chip and Dale are called... ''squirrels''.
68
69	* ''WesternAnimation/ChalkZone'':
70	** Mr. Wilter doesn't like it when you deface his chalkboard with "Car-TOOOOOOONS!"
71	** It's also not a good idea to call Snap a [[PluckyComicRelief comical sidekick]].
72	* ''WesternAnimation/ClassOf3000'': Don't mess with [[DitzyGenius Philly Phil's]] friends. He'll go from ExtremeDoormat to BadassBookworm surprisingly fast.
73	* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'':
74	** Nigel Uno has [[InsultedAwake broken out of brainwashing]] when one of his buttons was triggered. Among the set-offs: being overcharged at a restaurant.
75	** Don't insult the Rainbow Monkeys in front of Kuki Sanban, a.k.a. Numbuh Three. And God help you if you mess with her [[GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals plushies]][[spoiler:, especially so much as [[ComedicSpanking spanking]] [[OurVampiresAreDifferent them]]]].
76	--->'''Numbuh 13:''' ''(breaks the Rainbow Monkey Lisa on Kuki's face)''\
77	'''Kuki:''' ''[[ScreamDiscretionShot (hysterical scream)]]''\
78	'''Mr. Boss:''' [[DontAskJustRun QUICK! RUN LIKE LITTLE GIRLS!]]
79	** As well as Numbuh 83, who, if you threaten to put her in a dark room, will beat up anyone around her.
80	--->'''Numbuh 83''': ''(Innocently, after beating up a group of grown-up mooks)'' I'm afraid of the dark.
81	** Numbuh 363 [[HatesBeingTouched can't stand being physically touched]].
82	** The Great Puttinski gets furious whenever anyone tells him that mini-golf is "just a game".
83	* ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'':
84	** For [[FortuneTeller Shirley the Medium]], acting rude and swindling her pisses her off so much that she places a curse on the guilty person who does those two things.
85	** [[CreepyCockroach Schwick]] from "Courage in the Big Stinkin' City" only likes being called "Schwick" and ''never'' "Bushwick".
86	** Even Clyde, the fog spirit from "The Fog of Courage" has one: greed. His response to Eustace telling him to make him an offer is to angrily release a trail of clouds from his mouth that surrounds the farmer and Courage.
87	* ''WesternAnimation/DanVs'':
88	** You do NOT ask Chris to make you cocoa in the middle of the night, and then LEAVE before it's ready! SIT DOWN!
89	** Elise has several:
90	*** Do not try to sell her or someone else things over the phone at her home. She will beat up telemarketers who call her home after they've been warned.
91	*** Calling her junior. Pretty much incites the least violent reaction from her while still pissing her off.
92	* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'':
93	** According to the episode, King Tuck, Sam hates being called Samantha.
94	** Calm, debonair Vlad Masters turns angry if you call him a "''fruit loop''". Or mention how he lost the woman of his dreams to an idiot and still can't use his vast fortune to buy the Green Bay Packers. Or suggest he get a cat.
95	** Don't call Danny a loser, either.
96	*** Danny's eyes glow green uncontrollably if his BerserkButton is so much as touched, much less pushed.
97	*** Special mention goes to Dark Danny, whose eyes flashed red when [[spoiler: he was disguised as Danny and had to listen to Sam and Tucker insulting him]].
98	* ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'':
99	** Megavolt ''really'' hates it when anyone calls him "Sparky".
100	** Darkwing's bumbling neighbor is a pretty nice guy. Insult him? He'll let it slide. Humiliate him? He'll laugh it off. Disguise yourself as him and ruin his reputation? No big deal. But if you ''ever'' mock, libel, or disparage Quackerware, the line of products he has endorsed and sold for a living all his life, ''then'' he gets vicious.
101	** Quackerjack hates video games since he blames the video game industry for putting his toy company out of business.
102	* ''WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines'':
103	** Dick Dastardly absolutely hates it when Muttley curses. As a result, he'll say, "What was that?" . Another BerserkButton Dick Dastardly has is when Muttley laughs at someone's misfortune. He has various reactions to it.
104	** Muttley adores his medals, and if someone tries to take his last medal away, he'll bite that individual's arm, be it Dick or even the General through the phone.
105	* Creator/{{Disney}}:
106	** In the ''WesternAnimation/HerculesTheAnimatedSeries'' episode that's a crossover with ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'', being called "Jerkules" seems to function as this for Hercules. "[[NeverHeardThatOneBefore Everyone thinks they're so funny when they call me that, but it's]] [[PunctuatedPounding Not! That! Funny!]]" Well, he was called "Jerkules" by bullies in [[{{WesternAnimation/Hercules}} the original film]] (presumably a lot), so it's not surprising that it pisses him off. It may also be the fact that they thought they made it up, unaware everyone else also called him that. He also won't be happy if you touch [[BigBrotherInstinct Icarus]], and when a super-powered half-Olympian ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. He also didn't like it when Phil accuses Meg of being "two-timing, lying, scheming" and that she doesn't love Hercules. He learned Phil was right, but also Meg was unwilling to work for Hades anymore.
107	** Do not tell Hortense [=McDuck=] something is "men's work". She laid [[UsefulNotes/TheodoreRoosevelt Teddy Roosevelt]] flat with one punch. Yes, '''''that''''' Teddy Roosevelt.
108	** In ''Adventures in Music'' and ''WesternAnimation/DisneySingAlongSongs'', you do ''not'' interrupt Professor Owl's music lessons.
109	--->'''Professor Owl''': '''''[[BigShutUp QUIET!!!!!]]'''''
110	** In the WartimeCartoon ''WesternAnimation/EducationForDeath'', Hans's PoliticallyMotivatedTeacher goes ''ballistic'' when Hans expresses sadness for the rabbit killed by the fox instead of admiring the fox for his cunning as a [[TheSocialDarwinist Social Darwinist]] Nazi is "supposed" to do, and proceeds to scream at him as he sends him to the corner.
111	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'': The eponymous preteen absolutely ''HATES IT'' when people call his journal a "diary".
112	* ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'': Toot does ''not'' like it when you try to go number 2 on pizza as a prank.
113	* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Droopy}}'' cartoons, if you dare do something petty and cruel to something Droopy dearly values, he will walk up to you and dispassionately say, "[[ThatMakesMeFeelAngry You know what? That makes me mad]]," and then demolish you.
114	** And just for the record, even his son in ''Homesteader Droopy'' kicked a [[DirtyCop corrupt sheriff's ass]] for taking his baby bottle.
115	** Also in the same episode, we learn it is unwise to give a stuffed moose a mohawk.
116	* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' each of the Eds have their own buttons:
117	** Ed and Eddy's mere existence seems to be this for Sarah.
118	** Separating Plank from Jonny turns Jonny from a harmless idiot to outright ''violent''.
119	** The Eds' existence seems to be this for [[JerkJock Kevin]].
120	*** And don't tease him about his crush on Nazz.
121	** Friendship day is SeriousBusiness to Jimmy. The Eds learn that one the hard way.
122	* ''{{WesternAnimation/The Fairly OddParents}}'':
123	** ''Do not'' bring up March 15th in front of [[EvilTeacher Crocker]]. Bad things have happened to him on that day...
124	** Any time Crocker is forced to hand out a passing grade. Man, does he ''hate'' doing so.
125	** In "Shelf Life", ''never'' make fun of the [[Literature/TheCatInTheHat Rat in Spats]]' shoes. [[Literature/TheAdventuresOfTomSawyer Tom Sawyer]] learned this the hard way.
126	** Short Fuse, a tiny bomb-based supervillain is easily angered by any reference to words like "short", "small", and "tiny".
127	** Never call Wanda fat. In "A Bad Case of Diary-Uh", this made her join Timmy in gleefully ruining Vicky's social life.
128	* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
129	** Stewie Griffin [[CompanionCube absolutely adores his teddy bear Rupert.]] Do not harm or threaten Rupert in any way.
130	--->'''Stewie:''' We don't like your cooking, your stupid karaoke nights, and we especially don't like the way you hump that chair in the den!\
131	'''New Brian:''' Well, Rupert seems to like my humping.\
132	'''Stewie:''' What did you say?\
133	'''New Brian:''' Rupert. Humped him for two hours last night. He just lay there and took it.\
134	'''Stewie:''' [[TranquilFury Did he?]]\
135	'''New Brian:''' Yeah. And now every time you're sleeping with him, he's gonna be thinking of me.\
136	''(Cut to Stewie throwing New Brian's dismembered corpse in the trash and Peter reading a forged suicide note.)''
137	** And when he wants his money after you lose a bet, HE'LL GET IT. Brian tried backing out of repaying his debt, and the results [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown weren't]] [[DisproportionateRetribution pretty]].
138	** In the episode "Fat Guy Strangler," while Lois' mentally ill brother, Patrick, is visiting the Griffins, Peter dresses as Ralph Kramden (from ''Series/TheHoneymooners'') and uses his catchphrase "Pow, right in the kisser." This triggers a flashback for Patrick, who as a child had walked in on his mother having sex in the kitchen with an obese man dressed as the famous ''Honeymooners'' protagonist -- this triggered a traumatic episode that eventually saw him sent to a mental institution -- and he goes on a rampage, killing or seriously injuring obese men in Quahog. Eventually, he targets Peter, who eventually escapes his predicament (only when Lois shows up to talk Patrick out of it, claiming that she is assaulting his "girlfriend," Marion).
139	** In later seasons, Brian's existence is this for Quagmire.. although after "Tiegs for Two" they seem to be a lot less hostile to each other, and their rivalry is officially put aside as of "Dead Dog Walking".
140	*** Speaking of "Tiegs for Two":
141	---->'''Brian:''' Does Jillian know you're half-Polish, Mr. Quagglechek?\
142	'''Quagmire:''' YOU SON OF A BITCH!
143	** Apparently, [[{{Jerkass}} Jeff Fecalman]] from "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS10E3ScreamsOfSilenceTheStoryOfBrendaQ Screams of Silence: The Story of Brenda Q]]" has one. If you even so much as ''make eye contact'' with Brenda, you'll be lucky if all he does is scream at you.
144	** Chris has two.
145	*** Speak ill of ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' in the presence of Chris and he will likely scream at you and storm out of the room. Note that there are very few things capable of actively making Chris angry. Creator/SethGreen (who played Chris in ''Family Guy'') had co-created and starred in ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'', so it's no big surprise that he is making fun of his OWN show.
146	*** Chris will become violent [[HatesBeingTouched if he is touched]], as Meg learns in "Lethal Weapons" and later Peter in "The Peanut Butter Kid."
147	** Go ahead and call Peter a poopnose. See how fast you wind up on the floor with yours broken.
148	** '''Don't''' interrupt Stewie's TV time. Things will get ugly.
149	** In "The Boys in the Band", when Olivia tells Brian that she can easily replace him with another dog after he decides to quit their duo, he says that she's a monster like Frankenstein when he was a loan officer. This is followed by a cutaway of Frankenstein's monster getting angry and declining a woman's loan application when she says that her business will be selling [[TorchesAndPitchforks pitchforks]].
150	** '''Don't''' treat Brian like he is a dog (saying things like "Sit boy, sit"). Whatever is around him that can inflict real damage he will throw at you. Peter got off the hook, but Quagmire could've learn that the hard way... [[spoiler: except it was the driver of Quagmire's bus who had to suffer. Doesn't help the driver's ''literally'' allergic to getting hit in the head.]]
151	* ''WesternAnimation/FinalSpace'':
152	** [[GodhoodSeeker The Lord Commander]], who has a god complex and believes he has his powers because the Titans chose him, does ''not'' take the suggestion that he only got his powers by an accident very well, howling in rage and trying to blast Gary point-blank into space for it.
153	** In Season 2, Ash tells Gary to [[ExploitedTrope talk about prom in front of her]]. When he does so, she completely flies off the handle and starts destructively using her powers to their benefit.
154	* ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'': As "The Big Lablooski" shows, Madame Foster treats bowling as SeriousBusiness. Very, ''very'' Serious Business.
155	* ''{{WesternAnimation/Freakazoid}}'':
156	** Gutierrez does ''not'' like being called a weenie.
157	--->"DON'T SAY THE WEENIE WORD!"
158	** Freakazoid himself is genuinely not interested in watches that can turn beavers into gold.
159	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': Being a crustacean-humanoid, Dr. Zoidberg has the dubious honor of cutting anything the shop needs him to. ''Don't try to convince him otherwise.'' He even managed to scare Bender on that one.
160	--->'''Bender:''' I'll just cut [the pizza]-
161	--->'''Zoidberg:''' ''(slams claw on table)'' YOU DO AND I'LL ''bleep''ING GUT YOU LIKE A ''FISH!''
162	** "Crimes of the Hot" has Morbo flipping out when Linda suggests that the windmills of Holland will cool down migrating turtles.
163	--->'''Linda''': I'm sure those windmills will keep them cool.
164	--->'''Morbo''': WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY! GOOD NIGHT!
165	** Bender has a HairTriggerTemper anyway, but he gets very irate about whether an L-beam should like like uppercase or lowercase.
166	--->'''Fry:''' That doesn't look like an L at all! Unless you count lowercase.
167	--->'''Bender:''' You know we don't! ''(slaps him)''
168	** The Professor doesn't like it when people suggest using the Planet Express ship to get a lift, and will need to spend time ranting in the Angry Dome.
169	** The Space Bees generally respond to any intruders with murderous violence, but what really sets them off is Bender insult [[AdiposeRex their fat queen]].
170	* [[BigBad Prime Evil]] from ''WesternAnimation/FilmationsGhostbusters'' has a HairTriggerTemper, and it's easy to tell when he's angry: his robotic, skull-like head turns red-hot. However, one thing that ''really'' makes him angry is when his henchman Haunter calls him "Old Boy". (And for some reason, [[TooDumbToLive the guy never learned...]])
171	* Plenty of characters in ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' have one and you do not want to push any of them. Unlike many other series, we get to see the origins of each.
172	** After the massacre of several of his clan members, Goliath becomes [[PapaWolf fiercely protective]] of the remaining ones and anyone else he considers part of his clan.
173	** After Broadway was playing with Elisa's gun and accidentally shot her, he becomes angrily hateful of guns being used by criminals, noticeably destroying any he gets his hands on.
174	** Lexington was a huge fan of the Pack but after they betrayed him, he always takes it personally when they are around.
175	*** He also becomes very protective over Alex and anyone attempting to harm the child will have to go through Lexington.
176	** After Brooklyn fell for one of Demona's manipulations, he spends much of the series holding back rage whenever she shows up.
177	** Elisa is furious towards Xanatos after what he did to her brother, as she is the eldest of her siblings and is very close and protective of them.
178	** Demona constantly exists in this state of anger due to her bitterness and desire of genocide against the humans, but she has a particular hatred towards Elisa, most likely due to still having feelings for Goliath and noticing that Goliath and Elisa have been getting closer. She will drop everything just for a chance to kill Elisa.
179	** Xanatos is perpetually in control but when someone manages to pierce his facade, he is visibly ticked, such as when Hudson realizes Xanatos is secretly terrified of aging, Goliath discovering his genuine love for Fox, his father Petros pointing out his love for money.
180	* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'':
181	** For Dipper, do ''not'' call him adorable or imply that he isn't smart enough to solve something.
182	** Soos is usually a nice guy, but he gets mad if someone mentions the fact that he's overweight.
183	** Stan does not want to talk about his tattoo, and he does ''not'' appreciate people trying to see it or videotape it. Stan has a [[JustifiedTrope good reason]] for it, because it's not a tattoo. It's a [[spoiler: '''burn'''. It's a burn that reminds him of his last fight with his twin brother]].
184	** Mentioning how Pacifica probably dyed her own blonde hair (given that her parents have completely different hair color than her, it's not exactly wrong for Dipper and Mabel to think like that) is bound to raise her ire.
185	** Ford does not want to thank Stanley in any way for endangering the whole world so demanding him to do so will make him angry to the point that he will passive-aggressively snipe said person in any way, whether it be correcting their language or even pick a fight, ''even if they needed to cooperate to prevent the BigBad from bringing about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt''.
186	** Rumble [=McSkirmish=] has BlackAndWhiteInsanity and he considers lying to him to be worthy of being labeled as a villain.
187	* ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'':
188	** In the episode that introduces Nergal Junior, his berserk button is being called a "freak". Given that his father is a monster from the Earth's core who has issues making friends, and Junior's true form is [[TakeOurWordForIt some kind of]] [[EldritchAbomination hideous, otherworldly, tentacled monstrosity]], he's understandably sensitive.
189	** Also, do NOT go near Grim's trunk. Or read his diary. Or look through the pockets of his robe.
190	** Never, EVER touch Skarr's garden. (He'll give you fair warning, so if you do it, don't say you weren't warned.)
191	* [[MeaningfulName The Grinch isn't exactly a nice person to begin with]], but as shown in ''WesternAnimation/TheGrinchGrinchesTheCatInTheHat'', he definitely doesn't like being called Mr. Greenface.
192	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Grojband}}'': Trina Riffin has way too many to count.
193	** Laney Penn doesn't like it when someone disses the band (as Trina found out after she asked her [[TemptingFate "What part of 'Your band stinks!' didn't I say?"]]), or recognizes her as a boy.
194	** Corey Riffin's usually a calm boy, but put him in an elevator with elevator music playing for a long time, and that's when he loses his temper.
195	* Peter Potamus in ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'' will flip out if he finds out that [[RunningGag you got that thing he sent you,]] and didn't tell him.
196	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Insektors}}'':
197	** Queen Katheter/Bakrakra has a couple of these.
198	*** Try not to fail an evil scheme or mission. (Draffsack/Krabo also has this, as well)
199	*** Never give her flowers during her Birthday.
200	*** and if you were her son, never escape or leave The Krud/Yuk Empire, even during his coronation.
201	* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'':
202	** Gaz is generally willing to leave people alone as long as they leave her to her video games and pizza. Otherwise she will stop at nothing to destroy you. Notably, she won't scream and yell like most of these examples -- she's far too ''[[CreepyChild scary]]'' for that.
203	** Do NOT mention {{Santa\|Claus}} around Professor Membrane.
204	* ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' has an episode in the first series dealing with this. (Don't call Jade a shrimp).
205	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Jellystone}}'': The Ruggs do not suffer fools when it comes to their restaurant. When the Banana Splits post a one star review of the place online the whole clan minus Shag break down the wall and beat them up for it. And when Yogi tries to scam a free meal Ma Rugg decks him in the face.
206	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': Everybody has one (or more).
207	** Kaeloo herself has several, including but not limited to killing flowers (even by accident), swearing, wasting food, playing games that involve wars, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking being called "Priscilla"]].
208	** Come between Quack Quack and his yogurt and you will pay '''''DEARLY'''''. The same applies to his relationship with Eugly, as Stumpy learned the hard way.
209	** Calling Mr. Cat a "kitty", attempting to initiate physical contact with [[HatesBeingTouched him]], or hurting Kaeloo in any way is an easy way to quickly make an enemy out of Mr. Cat.
210	** [[{{Narcissist}} Pretty]] reacts violently to anyone reminding her that one of her ears is bigger than the other.
211	* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'':
212	** Ron Stoppable has a tendency to snap if his beloved fast food chain, Bueno Nacho, is destroyed or taken over by villains.
213	** Also Wade, after Team Impossible spikes his computer when he attempts to hack them. He comes back later in the episode in person to deal with them. "Nobody, nobody spikes my system!"
214	* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'':
215	** Do '''not''' speak ill of propane in Hank Hill's presence. Amusingly, in the episode "Hank Gets Dusted", a RealityShow producer suggests doing this to get a rise out of him, but Hank's cousin [[Music/ZZTop Dusty Hill]] says "There are some lines a man just doesn't cross!"
216	** Also, you do ''not'' mess with his lawn. ''Ever''. One of the few times he got ''really'' angry at Dale was because of that.
217	** And don't criticize Peggy's intelligence or Spanish skills, ''no matter how true you are.''
218	** Don't turn down a Tom Landry Middle School tradition. You '''''will''''' die.
219	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra''
220	** Don't ever say [[spoiler: Mr. Sato's actions will be disapproved by his late wife.]] not even if [[spoiler: you're his daughter]].
221	** In season 4, during the first half of the season, questioning if Kuvira is a bad leader or saying his work on the Earth Empire was bad is a good way to make Bolin mad, as his brother Mako and girlfriend Opal learn. Bolin learns the hard way that they were right and he regrets not listening to them.
222	* ''WesternAnimation/LibertysKids'':
223	** Do not insult the British Empire within hearing range of Sarah Phillips. Just don't.
224	** Don't mock France or call Henri little.
225	* ''WesternAnimation/TheLionGuard'': Never call Kenge a little lizard. Why? YouDoNotWantToKnow.
226	* ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'': As a nod to real nature, Sunil the mongoose does '''not''' like cobras. In fact, the word "cobra" is pretty much a trigger word for him to [[TookALevelInBadass Take a Level in Badass]].
227	* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'':
228	** WesternAnimation/BugsBunny does ''not'' take it well on the rare occasion that [[SoreLoser someone is actually getting one-up on him]]. The very idea of Cecil Turtle beating him in a footrace drives him insane.
229	** The post-{{Flanderization}} incarnation of WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck has a short enough temper as it is, but Bugs is a big red button for him. WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales' music also drives him up the wall.
230	*** '''Never''' take money from him, especially if he earned it fair and square. He single-handedly ''[[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beat the crap out of the Tasmanian Devil]]'' for it!
231	---->'''Daffy (panting after beating Taz senseless):''' Like I said, I'm a coward. But I'm a ''greedy'' little coward!
232	** WesternAnimation/PorkyPig does not tolerate cowardly behavior. Just ask WesternAnimation/{{Sylvester\|The Cat And Tweety Bird}}.
233	** Giovanni Jones from the short ''WesternAnimation/LongHairedHare'' would react violently each time Bugs interrupted his singing, breaking his instruments and beating him up with them.
234	* ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'':
235	** Lola's usually happy father went berserk after Daffy called his club number.
236	** Lola's family photos have to look ''flawless''. If you have so much as a broken tooth, she will do everything in her power to prevent you from getting into that photo.
237	** '''Don't''' call the Crusher (or the Neanderthal-shaped headed man, as Daffy calls him) stupid. He chased Bugs and Daffy to a cliff in an attempt to murder them (dragging several other inmates chained to his leg along with him) and only relented when they jumped into the water. Don't ruin his kid's sand castle either, even if it's by accident; Sylvester had to learn this the hard way.
238	* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'': Never upstage Lynn, or her anger vein will show. And DO NOT win a game against her, or she'll snap and try to compete against you at almost everything you do.
239	* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Madballs}}'' cartoon had Freakella, who loses it when someone makes fun of her hair (''Mop head?!'').
240	* ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBus'':
241	** Leave Jyoti Kaur's hair alone, or you're in for a world of hurt.
242	** Dorothy Ann Hudson doesn't appreciate when others insult math or doubt the nutritional value of broccoli.
243	** Ms. Frizzle herself has one, as revealed in "Makes a Stink": puns about nasal mucus. Her DeathGlare towards Carlos as most of her other students [[PhraseCatcher yell at him as usual]] says it all.
244	* ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR'':
245	** Coop has a few, and there is likely one on the dashboard somewhere.
246	** If you're his alternate dimension clone, ''never'' make him skinny.
247	* ''{{WesternAnimation/Metalocalypse}}'':
248	** Charles Foster Ofdensen is a normal-looking businessman, a savvy manager, and a very clever lawyer in charge of metal sensation Dethklok. DO NOT threaten his "Bread and Butter". Just don't. He will END you.
249	** And if you're at a concert with Toki, do not stand in his personal space and cheer in his ear. Especially if he's sober. Good lord.
250	* One that can only be described as RuleOfFunny: In ''WesternAnimation/MickeyDonaldGoofyTheThreeMusketeers'', French words make one of the Beagle Boys angry... you know, in a story that takes place in France.
251	* ''WesternAnimation/MightyMagiswords'': Do ''not'' bring up pants in front of Vambre.
252	* ''WesternAnimation/MollyOfDenali'': Trini does not take kindly to someone or something "messing with Texas".
253	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Motorcity}}'': Tooley doesn't like it when you speak badly of Abraham Kane... doesn't make him any smarter though.
254	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot''.
255	** A running gag had the character Pteresa get mad when people pronounced the silent P in her name.
256	** One-shot villain Himcules got mad when people called his toga a dress.
257	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
258	** Animals running from Fluttershy and not wanting to be her friend will send her off the deep end.
259	---> '''Fluttershy''' ''[[AxCrazy enraged and insane]]'': YOU'RE... GOING... TO... '''[[NoIndoorVoice LOVE]] [[SuddenlyShouting ME!!!]]'''
260	*** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E2TheReturnOfHarmonyPart2 The Return of Harmony - Part 2]]", the idea of Discord emerging triumphant is enough incentive for Fluttershy to stop crying and push herself to her physical limits while the ponies are [[spoiler:chasing Rainbow Dash]].
261	---->'''Twilight Sparkle:''' If you can't catch her, Discord wins!\
262	'''Fluttershy:''' That. Big. ''Dumb. '''MEANIE!'''''
263	** [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E4ApplebuckSeason "Applebuck Season"]]: Don't doubt Applejack's capabilities; it will just send her ranting about and make her more determined to show you up. [[CharacterDevelopment She gets better.]]
264	*** She gets really pissed off when Strawberry Sunrise insults apples.
265	** Whatever you do, '''NEVER, EVER''' break a Pinkie Promise.
266	** Rarity also gets furious when Applejack dismisses the very idea of fashion, ''her entire life's work'', as "ridiculous".
267	** ''Winning'' against Discord’s mind games. In which case he will promptly [[MindControl cheat]] to win.
268	** Do not offer yaks imperfect copies of anything from their homeland.
269	** [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E21Hearthbreakers Limestone Pie]] doesn't like other ponies touching Holder's Boulder, and isn't at all subtle about it.
270	** Rainbow Dash does not like being reminded of her EmbarrassingNickname "Rainbow Crash".
271	** Don't tell Twilight Sparkle that a school test is "just a test". Her launching the entire Golden Oak Library hundreds of feet into the air is considered "taking it well". Let's not find out what happens if she does not take it well.
272	* ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'': Don't let crows anywhere near Rabbit's garden. And heaven help you if you show even one ounce of sympathy to a bug looking to freeload vegetables off of him--just ask Tigger.
273	* ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'': ''Never'' go inside Mr. Gar's office. KO, Enid, and Rad learn that the hard way.
274	* ''Pendemonium'': Do ''not'' call Dotty "Erasinator".
275	* ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'':
276	** Never, EVER touch King Julien's feet. And if you ever decide to ''skate'' over them... well, say hello to Julienderung.
277	*** "Friend-in-a-Box" suggests that a FreudianExcuse may be involved. After Mort becomes obsessed with a portable video game, Julien goes out of his way to try and force Mort upon his feet, claiming that he wants to experience the joy of kicking Mort off. Eventually, he even goes so far as to beg Maurice and the penguins to pay attention to the royal feet.
278	** NEVER forget or ignore King Julien Day, for that matter... "Which forgetter is next for the whooping?! Come on, I want you to hurt LIKE I DO! [[EvilLaugh UAHAHAHAHAA!]]"
279	** Okay, so he doesn't go berserk, per se, but Skipper really doesn't like it when you call him fat, or any of its synonyms. He likes to claim it's muscle.
280	*** He '''''really''''' doesn't like Hoboken, NJ.
281	*** Or Denmark.
282	* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': Isabella seems displeased whenever someone uses her CatchPhrase of "What'cha doin'?", especially on Phineas. However, she's perfectly fine when it's Phineas using it on her.
283	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Pingu}}'': [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Do. Not. Ignore. Pingu's. Dad. It. Won't. Be. Pretty.]]
284	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Pocoyo}}'': In later appearances, Sleepy Bird is always angry whenever someone wakes her up.
285	* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'':
286	** Do NOT mess with Bubbles' [[TraumaticHaircut hair]]. And whatever you do, DON'T [[UnderestimatingBadassery taunt her and call her the weakest]]. To say the results won't be pretty would be an understatement.
287	** DON'T call Buttercup cute or otherwise try demeaning her. The Rowdyruff Boys learned this the hard way in their first appearance. Also, the preview of the reboot shows she ''really'' hates being called "Princess".
288	** Don't ever touch Fuzzy Lumpkins' property, or you're going to be in for a massive beatdown!
289	** Also, don't put on the mayor's hat. Mayor absolutely beats the shit out of Fuzzy Lumpkins for it.
290	** When [[StrawFeminist Femme Fatale]] is robbing a bank, make sure you ''only'' give her Susan B. Anthony coins.
291	--->'''Fatale:''' ''(about a $100 bill given to her)'' It's Ben Franklin, you idiot! ''A'' '''''MAN!'''''
292	** Don't try to rival against Mojo Jojo on world domination, as shown in "Forced Kin", where a giant robot alien almost took over the entire world after defeating the Powerpuff Girls, only for an angry Mojo to finally smack the giant down and sending him away back into space in revenge for stealing his thunder.
293	%%* [[spoiler: Alfe]] in ''WesternAnimation/TheProblemSolverz'' episode "Hide and Seek Ninjaz".
294	* ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'': Mitchell has zero tolerance for being snuck up on. Every time this happens, he chews out whoever did it. Jet and Mindy both learned this the hard way.
295	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'':
296	** Spinelli has gone berserk at people who have called her a girl in the past. [[DoNotCallMePaul Don't call her Ashley]] either... she's called [[LastNameBasis Spinelli]] for a reason.
297	** In the ''2001'' {{Homage}} episode, Gretchen snaps when the SAL-9000 calls her "dumb".
298	* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'':
299	** The zombie slayer is always mad at zombies.
300	** Don't call Benson "all talk".
301	** The No Rules Man from "House Rules" does ''not'' like being told what to do, even when it's important.
302	--->'''Mordecai:''' You gotta listen to us, man! These guys [the unicorns] are ''seriously'' bad news! You gotta get rid of them!\
303	'''No Rules Man:''' Did you just tell me what to do?! ''You just told me what to do!''
304	** The inhabitants of the Dizzy World hate speeches so much that they outlawed them. When Pops unintentionally makes a speech while telling Mordecai and Rigby that he does not want to leave the Dizzy World, they try to kill him.
305	* ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'': Do not offer Jerry the Bellybutton Elf lint loaf.
306	** The fire chief has a hatred for circus midgets.
307	* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'':
308	** [[CerealViceReward The Eyehole Man]]: Don't let him see you with a box of Eyeholes cereal. He'll burst in through the nearest window and kick the shit out of you.
309	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Robotboy}}'': Tommy doesn't like to be disturbed while watching TV. He scolds Lola for affectionately resting her head on his shoulder while he's watching The Human Fist.
310	* ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'':
311	** The episode "Power Trip" has a literal example of the trope: Do not touch the green button on Mr. Smitty's chair!
312	*** Don't show up late for work, either.
313	** Filburt is extremely protective of his ''JustForFun/WackyDelly'' character the Cheese. Do not insult the Cheese in any way. Heffer learned this the hard way.
314	** As "Speaking Terms" demonstrates, ''never'' forget Rocko's birthday.
315	** While Heffer himself will politely correct someone [[IAmNotWeasel if they call him a cow instead of a steer]], his adoptive father George will yell at anyone who calls him a cow.
316	--->'''George:''' HE'S A STEER!
317	* ''WesternAnimation/RoswellConspiraciesAliensMythsAndLegends'': Vampires and Banshees' [[FantasticRacism very existence]] are each other's berserk buttons.
318	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'':
319	** Angelica -- Don't take her [[CompanionCube Cynthia doll]] away from her, and Two; while she takes delight in picking on Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil, she objects to anybody else doing it.
320	** The normally kind-hearted Didi hates it whenever someone gets her name wrong, [[MaliciousMisnaming intentionally]] or [[AccidentalMisnaming not]]. This became a RunningGag in "Aunt Miriam".
321	* As {{lampshade\|Hanging}}d in ''WesternAnimation/SabrinaTheAnimatedSeries'', ''no one'', messes with Salem's can opener.
322	* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'':
323	** It's revealed in episode 4 of season 5 that Jack hates when people say nice things about Aku. This happens when Ashi rants to him, insulting him, while praising Aku. His response?:
324	--->'''Jack:''' ENOUGH!!! Every thing, every word, every thought that you know is wrong!! Aku - Aku is the one who has laid waste to the beauty of this land!! He has destroyed mother nature!! Where do you think we are?! Aku has summoned these monstrosities into our world and they feed off of his carnage!
325	** It's also revealed in episode 5 of season 5 that [[spoiler: Aku hates it when people bring up the Samurai while taunting him about how much of a coward he is. Aku promptly uses his EyeBeams to kill the Scotsman for doing so]].
326	--->'''Aku:''' Now why did he have to bring up the Samurai?
327	* ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'':
328	** Though non-violent, Shaggy has a variant in the ''WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo'' episode "A Terrifying Round with a Menacing Metallic Clown": if your criminal scheme threatens to cancel one of his beloved mini-golf tournaments, he will instantly morph into a Sherlock-Holmes-caliber detecting genius and solve the case so fast even Velma's left wondering how he did it.
329	** ''WesternAnimation/TheNewScoobyAndScrappyDooShow'' featured a villain called the Chameleon in the episode "Scooby's Gold Medal Gambit", a MasterOfDisguise who hated Worcestershire sauce so much that the mere mention of it was enough to make him give himself away by loudly complaining about how much he despised Worcestershire sauce.
330	** On ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'', Velma gets angry enough to kick down two tombstones when she thinks Shaggy is trying to weasel out of going to the prom with her. In a later episode, Shaggy chooses being friends with Scooby over being Velma's boyfriend, causing Velma's Berserk Button to be pressed before she collapses into tears.
331	* ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretShow'' villain Robert Baron is normally AffablyEvil, but he HATES being deceived. If he finds out somebody is trying to fool him, he [[UnstoppableRage turns bright red and starts charging through walls.]]
332	* ''WesternAnimation/SheepInTheBigCity'':
333	** The Angry Scientist got infuriated whenever people called him a mad scientist, always irately reminding those who do that he's [[InsistentTerminology an]] ''[[InsistentTerminology angry]]'' [[InsistentTerminology scientist]].
334	** Lady Richington has a very strong aversion toward sheep in general, to the point that whenever she sees Sheep, her knee-jerk response is to bludgeon him with her stainless steel wig.
335	* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'':
336	** Shadow Weaver will ''not'' like it if she finds you in her lab uninvited. And she'll go berserk if you're experimenting with the power of the Black Garnet runestone, even if you have the permission of Hordak himself.
337	*** Seeing her without her mask on is a big no-no, too.
338	** Catra's combined Berserk Button and TraumaButton is being passed over for Adora, particularly by the people she most wants affection from. When she finds out about Shadow Weaver's defection in season 3, it kicks off a VillainousBreakdown of apocalyptic proportions. [[spoiler:And mentioning the portal she created during that breakdown becomes a new berserk button in season 4.]]
339	** Hordak ''hates'' being lied to, as Catra found out the hard way at the end of seasons 2 and 4. He also displays anger whenever a minion enters his sanctum without permission.
340	** For a heroic example, Frosta ''will not'' tolerate looking down on her for her tender age.
341	* In ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'', cowardly Antoine will ''not'' let you get away with mangling French cooking. ''Especially'' if you try to make escargot... with margarine.
342	* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
343	** English kid Pip can't abide being mistaken for French. In the episode "Conjoined Fetus Lady," the other kids on the dodge ball team actually make use of this fact, to take advantage of his {{unstoppable rage}}.
344	** Eric Cartman has at least two Berserk Buttons. One is any references to him being fat or overweight. Another is being compared to ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''.
345	** Kyle isn't from Series/JerseyShore. Don't suggest that he is.
346	** Don't speak any foul language within Sheila's earshot. ''[[ApocalypseHow Prepare for the worst]]''. Seriously. [[WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut She started a war over it!]]
347	** ''Never'' call Bono #2, no matter how true it is. [[spoiler:Literally.]]
348	** "Are you looking at my headgear?"
349	** Tom Cruise goes crazy when anyone says that he's a fudge packer, even if he is packing fudge at the time, wearing a fudge packing uniform in a fudge packing factory. And never, ''ever'' compare him to the guy from ''Film/NapoleonDynamite''.
350	** If you don't want to piss off Mr. Mackey, don't take a dump in the urinal. Or ruin the tooth decay play he worked on for six years, whether it's by accident or not. Or touch any part of the overwhelming trash and paper hoard that suddenly materialized in his traditionally clean office.
351	--->Don't you touch that! That's not something to throw away! If you throw that away, I will RAPE you in the mouth, m'kay!? ''I WILL RAPE YOU IN THE FUCKING MOUTH, M'KAY!?''
352	* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'':
353	** For Sandy:
354	*** Whatever you do, do not ''ever'' insult the state of Texas within Sandy's hearing range. [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick had to learn this the hard way.
355	----> '''Sandy:''' Y'all best apologize, or I'm gonna be on you like ugly on an ape!
356	** For Patrick: NOBODY CALLS HIM TUBBY!
357	** Larry the Lobster is usually a GentleGiant, but badmouthing protein shakes within his earshot is a bad idea. Squidward learned this the hard way.
358	** Gary: Do not '''''EVER''''' bring a worm into the house, otherwise Gary will brawl it to the point of shooing it away.
359	** For Mr. Krabs: Anything related to money, (or more specifically, having to pay money). Just try to ask for a discount-let alone free food-in the Krusty Krab. Just the words "day off" is enough to release a scream to the skies. And is willing to attack people over pennies if he can justify it belonging to him.
360	** For the Flying Dutchman:
361	*** Do not impersonate him as he hates it. ''Especially'' if your impersonation of him is shoddy.
362	*** Do ''not'' insult his ship. Insulting his ship is worse than insulting his mother.
363	** For Primitive [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick:
364	*** Whatever you do, don't play your clarinet badly or they'll both attack you.
365	** For Squidward:
366	*** And don't you ''dare'' criticize his artwork!
367	*** Should Squilliam ever show up, so help him.
368	*** '''''NEVER''''' make fun of clarinets within his earshot. Norton the mailman learned this the hard way.
369	* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'': In [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E2ADistantEcho "A Distant Echo"]], {{jerkass}} ColdSniper Crosshair callously dismissing Echo as just another "reg" clone and insinuating he was left for dead at the Citadel deliberately because he's {{expendable\|Clone}} makes Captain Rex lose his cool and attack him.
370	* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'': Do not suggest to [[MagnificentBastard Grand Admiral Thrawn]] that a piece of rare artwork is alien trash and should just be smashed. Ever. (Note that this is a more muted example of berserk, as Thrawn merely yanks Slavin off his feet by the collar and hisses at him before getting himself under control, but notable as in all prior appearances Thrawn rarely to never loses his cool, and so far in ''Rebels'' [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness he has never even raised his voice above a calm conversational tone before.]])
371	* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'':
372	** Steven of all people has two berserk buttons: being caught in the middle of an argument between the Gems, and [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk Kevin]], the ''one'' person he flat out ''hates''. He doesn't get violent, but he does get upset, and he will express it in no uncertain terms.
373	** Do ''not'' call Peridot cute if you don't want to be slapped.
374	* ''WesternAnimation/SuperNoobs'': Shope's favorite dinosaur is the triceratops. Mock her favorite dinosaur and she will lose it.
375	* ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'': Never, ever do anything to the ''Sea Duck'' in front of Baloo or insulting his piloting abilities.
376	* Raphael of ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'', as shown in the 2003 cartoon episode "April's Artifact", hates bugs. PERIOD. He even gets pushed too far when, not long after one of the hornets has slashed and paralyzed him for a while and he recovers from the paralysis not long afterwards, and says "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Bugs... must...]] [[ThisIsUnforgivable PAY!]]"
377	* ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'':
378	** James the Red Engine does not like to be reminded of his particularly outstanding screwups. ''Especially'' the time his crew had to borrow a passenger's bootlace to repair a leak he'd caused in a brake pipe.
379	** Also never call Toby electric.
380	** Do ''not'' force Gordon to pull trucks.
381	** Please, do what Emily tells you.
382	** Never, ever bump the Troublesome Trucks. They'll be sure to retaliate and play a big trick on you.
383	** And above all else, don't ''ever'' call Percy "Dirty Percy".
384	* ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats1985'': If you work for the Ancient Spirits of Evil, do NOT take them for granted. Mumm-Ra learns this to his cost.
385	* ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'':
386	** Never call Babs by her real name.
387	--->'''Buster:''' Over here, Barbara Ann Bunny!\
388	'''Babs:''' Don't call me that!
389	** Never give Fifi's photograph to someone else. Never mistake her for a cat, either.
390	* ''Franchise/TomAndJerry'':
391	** Spike -- Don't wake him up while he's napping. And ''definitely'' don't wake up his son.
392	** Tom's [[FatBastard master]] from the Gene Deitch shorts has ''[[HairTriggerTemper very]]'' sensitive buttons. His buttons from his three shorts are: 1) Don't mess up his fishing trip. 2) Don't interrupt his barbecue. 3) DON'T touch his guns.
393	* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'':
394	** As a metal door learned, do NOT make Owen hungry. Also don't badmouth Izzy or hurt Noah in front of him; Heather learned the former back in Season 1 and the latter was learned by Jack the Ripper in Season 3.
395	** DO NOT mention [[BigBrotherBully Jose]] to Alejandro. Oh, and don't call him "Al", even though Cody tried to use it against him once and Owen calls him that because he can't say "Alejandro" right.
396	** Zoey, the usually calm and nice girl tried to kill Scott after he [[spoiler: eliminated Mike]], but her true berserk button was shown when the medallion Mike gave her broke, even Cameron was shocked at Zoey's transformation.
397	** Touch Eva's Platform/MP3 player or speak ill of her name, and you're as good as dead.
398	** In the second ''Action'' Aftermath, [[TookALevelInJerkass Geoff]] finds out that insinuating Bridgette (one of the sweetest and most peaceful characters on the show) is overweight is a quick and easy way to make her REALLY angry.
399	** Don't mention Chris' age, interrupt him, correct him, or play him like a fiddle (As Scott learned). And as Sierra learned, don't ramble on about his personal life and [[OldShame pre-hosting career]].
400	** To avoid Chef Hatchet going berserk, don't go into his kitchen, also known as "forbidden territory" and do not mess with or touch anything that belongs to him.
401	** Telling Julia that her social media followers are bots is guaranteed to ''not'' end well for you. Bowie learned that the hard way and it even cost him a challenge.
402	* The SpinOff ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace'' has a few of its own:
403	** Not coming first is this to the Ice Dancers. Josee in particular.
404	** Laurie having to eat meat to stay in the game [[spoiler: even though it turned out to be needless since it was a non-elimination round]] quickly becomes this for her.
405	* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}''
406	** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'': [[TheStarscream Starscream]] hates it when his EvilGloating gets interrupted. Bumblebee learned it hard way.
407	--->"'''YOU INTERRUPTED MY SPEEEEEEECH!!!'''"
408	** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'': Do NOT ruin Knock Out's paint job. He really likes it, and if anyone will try to ruin it will receive a painful vengeance.
409	--->"You scratch my paint, I scratch yours."
410	* ''WesternAnimation/TwelveForever'': The Butt Witch does NOT like being called by that name.
411	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros'':
412	** Don't touch Brock's car.
413	** ''DO NOT'' mention his father in front of Action Johnny. Surprising him with Dr. Z is also a bad idea.
414	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}'':
